Notes:
We consider the internal viscosity (IV) of polymer molecules in solution, and investigate how the IV might depend on solvent viscosity η0. From the Kirkwood model of a polymer, we derive in a nonrigorous manner two equations containing an IV, one equation valid for low η0 and the other for high η0, and we show that in these respective cases the coefficient of the IV is independent of η0 and linearly dependent on η0.
